What does the store of the future look like?

It might look something like this.

Carts that remember what you buy and allow you to scan items as you shop. No more waiting in line. For companies, the opportunity to market products for different prices to different customers on the fly. And an inventory control system that tracks and adjusts itself automatically.

Pretty crazy stuff. Certainly a few years ahead. But who's to stop a company from implementing some low-tech versions of this stuff now?

Why not have more registers than you need so people don't have to wait in line?

Why not guide people through the store and save them time?

I bet you could easily think of 20 ways to make grocery shopping a more painless, enjoyable experience.

So try! Let us know what you come up with!
